Rushed Into Trouble All ON his Account.
A small riot accompanied by great deal
Of noise disturbed the Sabbath quiet OF Diyi-
sion street on Sunday afternoon. The active
participants were Philip Belson. Hebrew
butcher OF ITS Division street, Solomon Bein-
stein. his neighbor. and five policemen Of the
Madison street station. 1t began at Az P. NJ.
and lasted half an hour. but no blood was shed.
Policemen Perkins. Powers. and Mulcahey
were detailed in citizens dress on Sunday to
look out for violations Of the Excise and Sun
day laws. Sunday being the day before Rosh
Hashanah. the Jewish New Year, was day of
great preparation among the orthodox He

who lodged, and the butcher was disarmed.
Belson's angry shouts in the mixture Of Polish
Hebrew and English, attracted crowd of their
friends, who thought the arrest an outrage.
Solomon Bernstein, one Of Belsons neigh
o1er, and when Policemen starge and Collins fins
who had been sent for arrived they found
their brother officers hemmed in by mob OF
angry, bowling men. who. while not openly at
lacking, were manruvring in such manner as
to keep the policemen from moving. The win
dows OF the tenements were filled with scold-
ing women, whose vehement yells were ad-
dressed partly. against the policemen and part
ly to their foolish relatives. starge and Collins
cleared a passageway without breaking any
heads in very quick order, and the progress Of
the other policemen was at once made easy.
At the station Bernstein quieted down, but
Belson was still full Of fight He told the Cap
tain that he had 500 on his person. and was
ready to go his own bail. As he was charged
with assault in addition to violating the sun
day law the Captain refused, to take bail. 1t
took three policemen to subdue him while he
was being searched. and then he was locked
up in a cell adjoining Beinstsin's He had on
his person $500 In bills and two checks. A
number Of friends wanted 70 go bail for him
later, and urged that 1t would be q hardship to
keep him confined on New Years Eve.
Yesterday morning he was arraigned before
Justice Duty In Essex Market Police Court,
and his lawyer argued that. as he had closed
his shop on Saturday and was going to close
again on Monday, It was no more than Just
that he should be allowed to keep open on
Sunday. That did not excuse his assault on

Matthew Cumming came to America with
his wife and children something over month
